To Hell With You People

Like a recurrence of herpes, Mitt Romney donors have come in from their five star resorts again, taken their silver feet out of their mouths again, and yet again beat the drum for Mitt Romney 2016. These people have all the makings of a cult without a comet or a Scientologist to take them away from us.

Seriously, to hell with you people. You guys got bamboozled and played by a bunch of con-artist consultants who took you to the cleaners while you were losing with your Super PACs. You essentially foisted on the GOP a candidate they did not want in 2012 who could not get ahead until using a large treasure chest to wait out all the other candidates. And you’ve taken every opportunity to try to get the man back in the race while learning jack about your defeats.

You people have treated the GOP as your play thing. You have put members of congress in your pockets to be your call girls for policies that benefit only you. And still you think Romney — who could not beat Obama in 2012 — will somehow do better this time.

To hell with you people.

I’d sooner Donald Trump than Mitt Romney.

I do not want to single out any reporters as I don’t think any of them is actually malicious or bad at what they do. They’re actually very good and don’t want them harassed.

This past weekend, we concluded the Resurgent Gathering. I need to confess now. Perhaps it will be good for your soul. I need just to unburden mine. We decided to go forward with the Resurgent Gathering in April after we got our first big sponsorship check. But the work really did not begin until around May 1st. We put this whole thing together in four months from a hotel contract to the actual...

The Dean of the School of Journalism at the University of Georgia is in hot water. He tweeted out that he grew up with Georgia’s Republican gubernatorial nominee, Brian Kemp, and “politics be damned” he knows Kemp is a good guy. The forces of Mordor sprang into action and dragged the Dean through the mud, vilifying him for liking a Republican. The Dean, you see, is white so of...
